Shuxi, also known as "bamboo mat" in ancient times, is a traditional handicraft famous both at home and abroad. Wanghe is rich in water bamboo and has many skilled bamboo workers. It has been known as the "hometown of bamboo mats" since ancient times. Qianshan was called "Shuzhou" in history, and Shuxi got its name from this. It is also called bamboo mat and cool mat. It is a unique bamboo weaving craft product in Qianshan County with a production history of nearly 2,000 years. The old county annals record: "In the southern part of Qianshan, bamboo weaving is popular. Men, women, old and young are all skilled in weaving. In the Ming Dynasty, Shuxi was famous in Jianghuai and sold to Southeast Asia in the late Qing Dynasty." In recent years, archaeological discoveries of Qianshan Han tombs have shown that Shuxi existed in the Han Dynasty and the craftsmanship was exquisite. This strongly proves that the Shuxi craftsmanship in Qianshan has been passed down for a long time. Shuxi is popular for its thinness, smoothness, toughness, wear resistance, no insect infestation, and easy folding and carrying. It is carefully selected and uses water bamboo, especially small-leaf water bamboo. To prevent insects, the bamboo must be harvested between November of the current year and February of the following year (the folks call it "cauliflower bamboo"). All the wind heads, tails, violent knots, scars, and hair branches must be removed. The bamboo strips are split, scraped, boiled, and dried, and the color is bright, clean and smooth, and the folds and rolls are continuous. It takes more than a dozen strict processes to weave bamboo strips into mats, which shows how complicated the production of Shu mats is. Since liberation, Qianshan County has carried out technological innovation activities, and the mat table weaving method has replaced the ancient and backward "cross-legged meditation, five hearts facing the sky" mat weaving method. At the same time, the mechanization of the processes of breaking, scratching, lifting, pole, tearing, and scraping the strips has been realized successively. In particular, the successful trial production of the scraping machine and the mat weaving machine has greatly reduced the labor intensity, and the quantity and quality are increasing day by day. Shu mats are not only a practical summer product, but also a beautiful and elegant handicraft. Figures and landscapes, flowing clouds and flowers, flying birds and beasts, mythological stories, regular script and cursive script, and banners and screens can all be woven into the table. The scenery between the tables is suitable for distance, with sharp contrast between light and dark, and clear spatial layers, forming a unique style of Shuxi craft. In 1958, Wang Longfu, an old Shuxi artist, used the needle picking method in Suzhou embroidery to weave screens with the patterns of "Tiananmen" and "Double Lions Playing with Balls" and presented them to Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou. They were later collected in the China Science and Technology Museum. In 1960, he also woven "Five Grains and Harvests" and "Peony" patterns and sent them to the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. In 1978, Shuxi artist Shi Lingzhi woven Shuxi with the patterns of "Magpies Playing with Plums", "Double Butterflies Playing with Flowers", and "Welcoming Pine" to participate in the National Exhibition of Community and Brigade Enterprise Products, and was widely praised by Chinese and foreign people. The production process of Shuxi is complicated, and the process requires strict operation. It is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of our ancestors. Modern technology is difficult to replace hand-made, and it is an extremely precious historical heritage. It was announced as a provincial intangible cultural heritage list in 2008.
